Daily life of a cultivation judge-Chapter 988: Receiving news

Earlier he had used the moonlit fog of obscurity to call Meifeng, the purple flower spore sycamore tree friend he had made in his time in Deer Mountain Range.

As for why he decided to obscure himself before calling Meifeng, it was because of Meifeng’s reaction which went exactly as he had expected it to, which was her talking his ear off with her complaining about how Yang Qing had been neglectful as a friend before she went off tangent and started bragging on how she could outsing the serenity river skylark.

It eventually turned into a competition as the duo decided to duel, with Yang Qing forced into the role of a judge. It was the first time he met a case he couldn’t handle. He quickly used the case he had on hand as an excuse not to give his opinion on who was better between the two.

Yang Qing bringing up the case was what finally settled Meifeng, otherwise, she would have talked his ear off like she normally did. Not that he minded it, as a matter of fact, he found it rather relaxing to hear yap endlessly about all the little things she had discovered. It was also endearing to see the bond she had developed with the spirit beasts he left in her care to keep her company.

Meifeng and the serenity river skylark were sisters with similar personalities who were constantly competing against each other in everything and anything; while the diamond beetle was more like the silent little brother she adored and bullied from time to time with her excitable personality; and the crescent moon winged moth was the docile little sister that everyone looked out for.

Seeing them grow into their own, filled Yang Qing’s heart with the pride of a parent at seeing their children grow.

Moving to the matter concerning Fan Cai’s mother, earlier when Fan Cai mentioned her history with the Deer Mountain Range and her acquaintances there, he had his suspicions that said acquaintances were the same that Meifeng had, and if indeed they were the same, then maybe Meifeng likely knew her.

It turned out Yang Qing’s guess had been right on the money. Meifeng did know Fan Cai’s mother, and rather deeply at that, since she considered Fan Cai’s mother like her aunt, and she had said it was the same with the fire adler bear, who had a rather close relationship with her too.

It didn’t take long for Meifeng to excitedly ask if Fan Ha was around so she could talk to her and also ask if she had seen Lady Gild, Fan Ha’s sister, and the fire adler bear’s master. Yang Qing quickly deflected the matter and went around it by bringing up Fan Cai which was sufficient enough to deflect Meifeng’s attention who instantly became excited about having a little brother as she repeatedly exhorted Yang Qing to bring him over.

Looking at their personalities, he couldn’t help but feel that they would get along swimmingly. One was easily excitable and could talk endlessly, while the other was an overly curious person, who despite being shy, couldn’t help himself.

He couldn’t help but smile slightly as he imagined the duo together and how exasperated the diamond beetle would be, but a moment later that joyous thought was replaced with a trace of solemness.

Regardless of the complicated relationship he had with his mother, it was evident that Fan Cai cared for her deeply and if something irreversible had happened to her, then the future he envisioned between him and Meifeng would be drastically different. It wouldn’t be as joyous and excitable as he imagined, and the two maybe, may never get to interact depending on Fan Cai’s state of mind at the time.

"Hopefully she is okay. As long as she is alive, everything else can be dealt with," thought Yang Qing.

His call to Meifeng wasn’t just to confirm that she knew Fan Cai’s mother, but it served another purpose altogether which would only work if Fan Cai’s mother was alive. With it whatever trouble she was likely in, would be resolved.

"I might as well bring it out, just incase," Yang Qing thought as his gaze drifted over to his storage ring.

Not a second went by then he felt a reaction from his communication talisman.

"I have them, we are coming back. Where are you?"

"The office,"

"We will teleport there. I will inform Xia Ting, she should have arrived as well,"

"Thanks, brother Yu Gen. Is she?" Yang Qing hesitantly asked.

"She is alive, as for the rest, you’ll see yourself.."

"Good, Good.. thanks."

Yang Qing inwardly heaved a sigh of relief as he put away the communication talisman with Fan Cai curiously looking at him.

Since he didn’t have time to redeploy the moonlit fog of obscurity again, he used his spiritual sense as a sound barrier, isolating his conversation with Yu Gen from Fan Cai.

Having already gotten the most important information, Yang Qing decided to break the news to Fan Cai.

"The team from Starlight Lake Sect is about to be brought over any second now,"

Fan Cai instantly straightened his back as his eyes fell on the door behind Yang Qing, with nervousness, worry, anxiety, and hope flashing in his eyes.

"Your mother is alive and will be part of the group brought over," added Yang Qing.

"Really?... Sshe .... she is alive," Fan Cai slowly said, trying his best to hold back the tears from his reddened eyes.

"She is alive," he added as he looked up, tears slowly trickling down his relieved smile.

"She is alive," he added again, his voice breaking slightly as he did.

He said it a few more times, his emotions growing ever so heavily as he did. He had tried to be hopeful all this time, trying to imagine a scenario in which she was okay, but more often than not it was the despairing thoughts that won out in the end.

His mother had spent great effort into painting how scary and dangerous the world was, and with her state unknown, Fan Cai’s mind fell back on those teachings. 95% of him believed she was dead and had died a brutal death at that while the remaining 5% desperately held out in the hopes that she was okay.

He was glad he decided to act on that 5% and reach out to the Order. Just as he was about to thank Yang Qing, the door he had been looking at earlier, opened up.
